A: From a technical standpoint it is safe to operate the system with only the lower L1, however the spatial and spectral performance of will be greatly reduced, so this has only a very limited application.

Note: Both sections of the Cylindrical Radiator® are powered by the same internal amplifier. Removing the top section changes the impedance presented to the amplifier. This will not harm the amplifier, but this is not recommended. 
 
=== Correcting the Tone ===
Try inserting a &frac14; inch connector in the Bass Line Out of the Power Stand. This will cause the internal logic to reduce the Bass output, and this should give you a better overall tonal balance when running with only one section of the {{PAGENAME}}.
<!--TODO find a reference for &frac14; inch plug in the Bass Line Out - MikeZ said it, just have to find the reference -->
